First time builders please note: This is an ideal first kit and also the ideal kit for first time Manhattan builders. Low parts count, a great design, and
K3PEG's outstanding instruction manual with a pad template make this an easy to build and successful first Manhattan project.

This kit is quite different from the retired and excellent NJQRP kit, and it deserves your close scrutiny. Please scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to see ALL the available information.

Islander ... Similar to the original Islander audio amp circuit kitted by the NJQRP Club, but with significant tweaks and improvements.

Audio Amp ... Yep, that's what it is.

Specifications and Design Features ... Very quiet noise floor, 65 DB power gain, small 2"x3" board, all Manhattan constuction, and Altoids® Compatible!.
&nbsp It can be driven to about 150mw output with clean audio and room filling volume.&nbsp That much power into an 8 ohm speaker is LOUD.
&nbsp The passband response curve shows a broad peak at approximately 500 - 1000 Hertz. &nbsp The input impedance is 100K for superior isolation and light loading of preceeding audio stages.
&nbsp So this is a small, powerful, quiet, easy to build speaker amp which will match up nicely with your earphone CW rig.

Uses ... K8IQY originally developed this little amp for speaker use with the SW+
series from Small Wonder labs. &nbsp It would be especially useful with the small transceivers that are popular today. &nbsp The SW++ series from Small Wonder Lab, DCxx series from
Hendricks QRP Kits, Rockmites, the AT Sprints etc. &nbsp In addition it's useful for your bench amp, any headphone output receiver, and with suitable coupling it would make a nice headphone amp also.

The Kit Includes ... All components, documentation, and associated parts to build the amplifier complete, less connectors and enclosure.
